Blog #3- My Favorite Cover:
Boston, May, We Will Finish the Race
Photographed by Mitch Feinberg
"After the marathon bombings, we wanted to be the magazine the city deserved and needed at that moment. The marathon was just four days before our ship date, but we scratched our cover and main feature and threw ourselves into honoring the runners and victims as best we could. The cover image is made up completely of shoes that ran this year’s marathon, and we were proud to tell their stories. We were even more proud that the sale of our May cover posters raised over $120,000 for the One Fund."






The reason why i chose this pic. this photo shows a very strong message of what happened and shows and amazing art. The way It has most and probably all the runners that were part of the whole marathon bombing. It shows all the different color shows of each person . The way they shaped the shoes as a heart and, the lighting of the the whole photo is perfect and i think the way the photographer accomplishes that by, sorting them from colors.(warm, cool and like neutral). The way people are communicated is clearly by people who and maybe weren't part of the bombing but there way a marathon. In my opinion the photo shows the love and support just by reading the title & not even reading the description.
                                                                                                                                                                           
Blog #4- Magazine Part 2:

There are different types of cover types, for example theres image base, illustration base, typed base and concept base. Each of these have there own special attributes, rather its how the describe are shoot a certain thing. Image based covers are more common, they usually consist of a pic of one person thats basically looking right at the camera, but maybe sometimes they would be looking in a different angle but it's still one person. Illustration base covers have to do with covers that look or are drawings, the difference is also that usually they rely in a different type of company. Typed based covers are usually rare, the typing of those types of magazine covers have a way to express what the theme is in general. It could be bold, cursive, bright, goofy, it just depends. Now, concept base covers has to do with rather funny, shocking and also a strong message. The other different think is that concept base cover has to do with businesses, so basically they are pretty informal.
